A verified breakdown of ZZZ’s Filmgoer Thank-You Gift event: eligibility, S-Rank rewards, timeline, and what F2P should know before spending.
Alex Rodriguez Zenless Zone Zero’s Filmgoer Thank-You Gift: Event Breakdown & Optimal Approaches
Zenless Zone Zero’s Filmgoer Thank-You Gift event, newly introduced in Version 2.5 and lasting until 2026-02-05 (UTC+8, all servers), is now live—offering S-Rank Agent selection and W-Engine rewards, but with sharply defined boundaries on who benefits. The community has voiced strong opinions about the top-up requirement, so it’s important to clarify how the event works, the actual cost, and what free-to-play (F2P) and budget spenders should expect.
At a Glance: Event Facts
- Event: Filmgoer Thank-You Gift
- Duration: 2025-12-30 — 2026-02-05 (UTC+8)

Event Overview: What Is Filmgoer Thank-You Gift?
The Filmgoer Thank-You Gift is a cumulative recharge (top-up) event in Zenless Zone Zero, letting spending players earn points (“Commemorative Ticket Stubs”) by purchasing Monochromes, battle passes, and selected packs. These points unlock milestone rewards—ranging from resources to exclusive decorations, and, crucially, exchange vouchers for premium S-Rank units and W-Engines.
Important restriction: This event is entirely gated behind top-ups. F2P players or those not planning to spend are ineligible—no progress is possible without real-world purchases during the window.

S-Rank Agent and W-Engine Selection Pool (2.5)
At the time of Version 2.5, the Agent Exchange lets you choose:
- Burnice
- Jane Doe
- Qingyi
- All standard banner S-Rank Agents (EarlyGG tier list)
- Resonating Core (additional resource)
For the W-Engine Exchange:
- Flamemaker Shaker
- Sharpened Stinger
- Ice-Jade Teapot
- All standard banner signature W-Engines
Pool is subject to banner cycle updates in future versions.
F2P and Low-Spend Perspective: Is It Worth it?
Critical caveat:
– No part of Filmgoer Thank-You Gift is unlockable through purely in-game-earned resources—not daily play, not event grinds.
– If you are strictly F2P, this promo can be skipped without penalty; the "free" S-Rank is, in practice, a spend-locked offer.
For Low-Spend/Optimizers:
- Calculate the Monochrome/pack combinations for best value; major milestones (Agent/Engine selection) are at 7,000 (W-Engine) and 10,000 (Agent) stubs.
- Recharging in small increments is possible, but will be less value per dollar than larger packs.
- Check competing event banners: If saving for future limited units, assess whether spending on this event fits your roadmap.
Common Issues & Quick Tips
- Progress only counts within the Filmgoer event window. Pre-purchase/top-ups from prior periods do NOT retroactively qualify.
- Bonus in-game currency ("bonus Monochrome") is excluded from Ticket Stub calculation—plan your real-money conversions accordingly.
- Cosmetic rewards are locked behind higher spending tiers; decide their value based on your preferences.
What Happens Next?
Once you reach the 7,000 and 10,000 Ticket milestones, head to Shop > Collectible Exchange to spend your Microcontroller Units or Invitation Letters. Your selection pool currently reflects all standard S-Rank units as of V2.5; future rotations may add new choices.
After the Event
- Any unspent Ticket Stubs, Invitation Letters, or Microcontrollers will expire—spend before the close date (2026-02-05).
- Anticipate rotation of selection pools for both Agents and Engines in upcoming patches, matching the evolving standard pool.
Final Thoughts
For most players, especially F2P, the Filmgoer Thank-You Gift is a non-factor; your S-Rank accumulation strategy will remain unchanged. For spenders targeting a stable, guaranteed S-Rank (whether Agent or Engine), this is a rare shot with full selector and no gacha variance, but requires a calculated investment.
